~ a really happy easter :) ~
*sigh of relief + grin*
i arrived home today (saturday) at about lunchtime..
the bus ride was pretty quick (and full of zzzzzz..) (-_-)
may i just say that it's oh-so-good to be home with family and have a break from it all :) i've missed my family too much! *awww, haha* but seriously, being isolated for two days in my other home (with tons of study materials and five dogs) was no joke..i would like to thank ate ging and ate jo for the company though..even if i hardly got to talk with them coz i was making good of my "alone time" to study..
anyway, enough of the isolation stuff..(although i'm still in a bit of a fuzz coz of a stupid thing i did last night..huhu :p) today was relax-and-do-nothing day :) yey! well, at least i thought it was..
i watched the marathon of 7th heaven on studio 23 for the whole afternoon together with my family..i've really missed watching tv..and watching the camdens again was fun..coz just like me, they've all grown up..well, kind of :p haha..
after the tv marathon (and the usual family pikunan sessions) , dad asked us if we would like to attend the easter vigil mass at the basilica (wow..surprising! :p haha) i was really glad that he did..so off we went to the very dark church to witness the celebration of easter :) we actually lasted till the lights went on..(at least my lil brother didn't throw tantrums till then, wehehe :p) i felt really good..i've missed going to mass with my family..we haven't been exactly going to church coz of..errr, reasons..but there we were..for family..for easter..for God :)
thank you Lord :)
anyway, after the mass, we went for a drive to starbucks..yey! (i ACTUALLY got dad to go (again) ! weee..) while we were ordering, a familiar face caught my attention..it was no other than dr. yvette lim from school..(my prof in comcalc! oh yeah! :p) wow, who would have thought, right? but then again, when she was my prof, she already told me that we were from the same province.. :p
opening remarks from her: nag review ka na?
(hahaha! oh yess..wasn't at all expecting that question :p)
okay, after a little chat with dr. lim, i got back to my family..awww, i was really happy we got to spend some time with one another..talking about present stuff..me and chi ranting mostly about our college (mis)adventures and school stuff..and about the past stuff..mom and dad and the family and how life was THEN during their time..enzo butted in once in a while :p (hehe)
it was nice while it lasted..i really cherish these kinds of family bonding moments coz not all people get to have them..have talks and make memories with their parents over coffee..
feels kinda like the 7th heaven setup.. :)
all i can say is that even though my family's nowhere near perfect, i'm still blessed and thankful to have them..
*i love my family :) *
enough for now :p this is getting mushy, haha
2 days till finals week..huhuhu..Labels: coffee, easter, family, happy, love, relax, starbucks, tales, time
